were between thirty and forty teachers
in attendance from all portions of the
county. Morning, afternoon and
evening exercises were held and par
ticipated in by many of the most emf
nent teachers and educators of the up
per Sound country. Lectures were
delivered on the various branches of
common school education, essays read
on popular and interesting topics and
discussions held on many of the yet
unsettled educational questions of the
day. The whole was seasonably and
pleasantly interpreted with vocal and
instrumental music, Rotations and

in our county are steadily progressing
towards higher plane of excellence
